The Security Job Profile Project

Our Aims

We aim to inform, influence, inspire and tell the truth about what working in security is really like by providing stories from people in these roles throughout the world.

INFORMING

Knowledge is power

Without knowledge on what is out there and what a job involves, how can one know they want to do it?

The testimonies provided within each role will give you a good perspective on what you would do on a day to day basis.

About Us

A network of volunteers around the world helped put these profiles together. We want to show that anyone can pursue a career in security. There is something in security for everyone.

Thank you to all who have contributed to this project to date.

This Project was initiated by the Australian Women in Security Network who saw a need to inform others on the broad range of security careers one can take.
